BACKGROUND Numerous earlier studies examining the association of air pollution with maternal and foetal health estimated maternal exposure to air pollutants based on the women's residential addresses. However, residential addresses, which are personally identifiable information, are not always obtainable. Since a majority of pregnant women reside near their delivery hospitals, the concentration...

BACKGROUND Population exposure assessment methods that capture local-scale pollutant variability are needed for large-scale epidemiological studies and surveillance, policy, and regulatory purposes. Currently, such exposure methods are limited. METHODS We created 2006 national pollutant models for fine particulate matter [PM with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5)], nitrogen dioxide (NO2),...

conclusions atpl was higher in the post-monsoon season. w/s ratio and correlation analysis revealed interseasonal homogeneity of tmv and traffic noise levels and interseasonal heterogeneity of air pollutant concentrations and atpl in the city microenvironments. results atpl was 3.35 times higher in the post-monsoon and 1.83 times higher in the pre-monsoon season than the permissible limits pres...

In the present study, air quality analyses for particulate matters (PM10) were conductedin Ahvaz, a city in the south of Iran. The measurements were taken from 2009 through2010 in two different locations to prepare average data for the city. The averageconcentrations were calculated for every 24 hours, and each month and each season whichshowed the highest concentration of PM10 in the morning w...

The Traffic Emission Modelling and Mapping Suite (TEMMS) is a program designed to provide detailed estimates of vehicle emissions on urban road networks, and so act as a precursor to urban air quality modelling. TEMMS is a module of the "Quantifiable City", a more extensive model designed to address questions relevant to urban sustainability. Within the Quantifiable City model, TEMMS interfaces...
